    Fabulous interview. Only 41 here. Frightening intelligence, style and maturity.
    Great insight into his thought on Rep theater.
    I know it's a role he played that is often over looked but I loved Finney in Burton's Big Fish. I thought he was brilliant and essential to that film. He played that part beautifully.
    But will always remember him for Miller's Crossing. Byrne, Finney and Turturro. What a brillaint film.
    Fabulous actor. One of the best the UK has produced.

      Two for the Road is my favorite Albert Finney movie. I have read that Stanley Donen considers it his favorite movie to have directed.
      I also love Albert Finney’s portrayal of Winston Churchill in The Gathering Storm.
      Very true as stated in this interview that Albert Fiinney was not type casted.
      I am sad today to hear of his passing.
      I had known he was sick but I believe he died from something other than the illness that had been referred to over the last few years.
      RIP Mr Finney- your performances filled my life with joy and I thank you.

    Quite a fascinating mind. I recently watched an interview taped after the release of "Saturday Night Sunday Morning" when he was still in his early 20's. He was already beyond his years in mental prowess. There was nothing in the way of the giddy, callow youth in his bright base prime allured by the prospect of stardom.

    He was very convincing in Night Must Fall. Saw Scrooge (big Scrooge fan here, this is my fav musical version. Though I think this maybe the only musical movie version) and Murder on the Orient Express in the theaters, both great. I knew or should I say felt the one with Depp was going to poop. Saturday Night Sunday Morning was another great one. The Dresser, the list goes on and on.

Also a very humble and noble man - he refused two honours.

    His Churchill is for male actors what Meryl's Sophie is for female actors - so extraordinary it sets the bar by what all other performances are measured. The best Scrooge, the only Tom Jones, a formidable Poirot,
    the best of the British actors of his generation, a towering talent.

      ​@angliase If middle class, but very much lower middle class. His dad was a bookie and the family moved to a very ordinary pre-war 3 bed semi on the same road I lived on. My grandparents lived round the corner. The area was a mix of white collar, blue collar workers and tradespeople.

    Albert Finney was never knighted which to my mind was so unfair. He was so much more talented than many actors who have been ennobled. He was a superb performer. I had the delight to see him live on stage in Present Laughter at the Manchester Royal Exchange. Mesmerising & charismatic actor. RIP Mr Finney.
